-Whimsical Chief in training. My special recipes are done with Photoshop and 3Dsmax, sometimes with a few dashes of matte painting on top, roasting in Ambient Occlusion styles, and garnish with fine-art-like lighting techniques. Whichever goes best with that special occasions, always serve warm. Bon appetit!

My Art is a study in light and shadow. I am a traditionnal and digital artist.
I use and mix different mediums to make my paintings : pencil, black ink, charcoal pen, acrylic or watercolor painting....and i often finish the details, the work of light and contrast on Photoshop. I like to explore all the possibilities of the different mediums i use. I suggest things playing with the light and huge contrast to convey a vision of the world close to the childhood's nightmares but full of fairy.
